This carefully researched and well-written book disproves moss of the current management hype--from the cult of the superhuman CEO to the cult of IT to the acquisitions and merger mania, it will not enable mediocrity to become competence. But it should enable competence to become excellence.
With both Good to Great and Built to Last,Mr.Collins delivers two seductive messages:that great management is attainable by mere mortals and that its practitioners can build great institutions,It's just what us mortals want to hear.
